I’m currently roadtripping toward Clarion. I took Route 80 from Iowa City to the Bay Area (during which I experienced: The Great Salt Lake, Lake Tahoe, the Bonneville Salt Flats, endless desert and sky, and the greatest Korean BBQ/karaoke in Laramie, WY), and then came south. I’m currently in LA. I’ll be in San Diego on Sunday. For those of you waiting for your microfictions/thank-you notes: they are coming! Just slowly.

I am so, so excited for Clarion.

Lastly, Unstuck, the amazing genre-bending publication where “Difficult at Parties” is being published this year, got a great shout-out in Poets & Writers.
